Carrie & Lowell - Live

[Sufjan Stevens]
Carrie and Lowell
Such a long time ago
Like a dead horse
Meadowlark, drive your arrow

[Sufjan Stevens, Dawn Landes, (Casey Foubert), all]
Season of hope (after the flood)
Valentine, spurn my sorrow
Head on the floorboards (covered in blood)
Drunk as a horsefly
Climb on the mattress pad
Twist my arm

[Sufjan Stevens]
Under the pear tree
Shadows and light conspiring
Covered bridge, I scream
Cottage Grove shade, invite me

[Sufjan Stevens, Dawn Landes, (Casey Foubert), all]
I will bow down (Dido's Lament)
Lord of the ancient waters
From the backyard (as far as she went)
Carrie surprised me
Erebus on my back
My lucky charm

[Sufjan Stevens, Casey Foubert & Dawn Landes]
Carried by stones
Fairyland all around us
Like a dead horse
Sign of your children’s fever

[Sufjan Stevens, Dawn Landes & Casey Foubert]
Carrie, come home (Thorazine’s friend)
Holding your hands with opal
Like a dead horse (Shall we ascend?)
Flight of the mayfly
Ephemera on my back
She breaks my arm
